Quarantine supper tonite... Live from NYC...
Vanilla skies... clouds rolling in... by late afternoon the constant pitter patter of raindrops... puddles with concentric circles as drops fall... cars splashing by... fallen leaves 🍁 in golds reds and browns plastered to sidewalks and driveways... folks hunched into their jackets darting into doorways... the rain has arrived... staying through Friday as tropical storm Eta lashes the gulf coast and drives water into the atmosphere.
Soggy weather kept Mr Sam indoors pacing the kitchen as dinner was prepped... the occasional meow and leg rub punctuation against the endless drab exterior view. It was a good day for a long cook against the chill and drizzle... a whole large roaster stuffed with onion, and lemon dipped in salt... coated with olive oil, Penzey’s powdered rosemary and Penzey’s poultry seasoning... the scent wafting though the house and warming the kitchen. Fresh artichokes stuffed with bread crumbs mixed with olive oil and Parmesan steamed in white wine made a delightful addition to the meal... an avocado, tomato, red onion salad with lime juice and a glass of Sauvignon Blanc topping off supper.
Grim news on the covid front... 140,000 new infections today... Texas the first state to exceed 1 million cases... almost a quarter million souls lost. Please... take the pandemic seriously... this is not the time for pandemic fatigue... wear a mask... limit social interactions... stay alive to celebrate next year... and wash those germy hands 💕😷
How was your day? What on your plate? Thoughts?
